There are two forces at work in the team’s creations – one
is a direct and sharp commentary on the damning effect that
high-tech society has on the individual, whereas the other
finds pleasure in the formal use of technology as a game.
The first employs a traditional means (although by using the
computer) of generating images, easily appropriated and
commodified by the system of art. The second involves the
concept of an open work, incompleteness, communication, and
is therefore much more indefinable. This creates a
schizophrenic oscillation between image and space, between
object and process, between the static and the dynamic,
between the final and the incomplete. In their system of
representation, son:DA artists successfully balance between
two opposites, with an obvious tendency towards an open
structure, connections and interaction. But within a guarded
atmosphere of ironic technological dystopia, which – in
their case – acts as the final shield from the total and
excessive connectedness of the modern world.
